Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

    I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don’t have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.

    https://atlasos.net/

    Also here’s another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.

    I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.

      I had high hopes for Atlas for gaming.

      I formatted and started a fresh install. My main games (League Of Legends, Escape from Tarkov) would not install, with various errors. Then I ran into system errors with permissions.

      Also came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctONKQByx-M

      Back to Win10 Pro + debloat script.

          Sorry, it was nearly a year ago, I don’t remember the exact details. I’m an experienced IT specialist and they were not common issues I could easily debug and resolve myself. All I remember is I followed some tutorials to address some errors, which ended up creating other errors. I gave up after a couple consecutive evenings of troubleshooting.
